Some of you may know that I received SARE funding in 2007 to
create software to help small, diversified farmers with crop planning.
It is targeted at veggie growers, but should be useful for anyone who
works with annual crops. Well, I have just made available a
"prerelease" version of this software. It's still early in the
development stage and I don't recommend putting it into production use
just yet, but I'm very excited for you all to give it a try and let me
know what you think. Please email your thoughts to
croppl...@gmail.com

Specific feedback that I'm looking for:

* obvious software bugs/problems (things that don't work as
expected, things that look funny on the screen, incorrect output,
software crashes, etc)
* confusing interface issues that need to be clarified
* features that AREN'T there that SHOULD be
* features that ARE there that SHOULDN'T be

Etc, etc. This is being released as free software and it's
SUPPOSED TO BE USEFUL; if you don't find it useful or don't think you
would ever use it, please let me know why so that I can consider how
to make it more useful to more people.

your thoughts to croppl...@gmail.com .
